Welcome! I'm Lindsey :) I have a Youtube channel, Beautybaby44, where I share my love for makeup, fashion, hair, and all things girly! I adore looking at other beauty blogs, and that inspired me to start my own. I'm very new to this, but I'm excited to get started! Here I plan on posting about new beauty products I try, nail/outfit/makeup of the day posts, updates on my life, and whatever else! I hope you enjoy :)

My Favorite Self Tanner!

Today I'm excited to share with you a product I've been using for the past few months. It's the Loreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Gelee. I have the shade Medium Natural Tan, as that's the only one my drugstore had. This product is different than most self tanners because it's not a lotion or spray, but a gel. I love that about it, and I find the gel consistency faster to apply than a lotion, while giving you the same control as one. Here's what the product looks like on your skin before you rub it in:

It applies very smoothly and quickly for me. Unless I know I'll be wearing a bathing suit or something backless, I usually only apply self-tanner to my legs, chest, neck, shoulders, and arms. I sometimes do my stomach too depending on if I think it's necessary. This way helps me to avoid using unnecessary product on places that will be covered by my clothes, and to be honest I still haven't gotten used to applying self tanner on my back by myself! It's next to impossible to not miss a few spots there.

When rubbing the product in, it turns to a more clear color as you can see below. It feels slightly sticky right after applying, but it will soak in quickly and it doesn't stain my clothes at all.

As for results, this is the best self tanner I've ever used. It gives instant color in a few hours, doesn't streak, and the best part: It lasts days longer then any other tanner I've used- I'm talking a good 4-5 days with one use.With other products, I find myself self-tanning every other night to maintain a nice color, but with this one, I only use it once, maybe twice a week. Another pro? It's available at the drugstore. Prior to this, I was using the St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse. It was okay, but it costs $30+ and never gave me enough color with one use. I like to apply a self-tanner once and have it give me a tan. I'm not into gradual products, but that's just my personal preference.

My only con with this product, and pretty much every self tanner I use, is that I get slight lines on my ankles and wrists separating my natural skin color and my self-tanned skin color. So I'm asking for your help! How do I avoid the line on my wrists, when after tanning I have to wash my hands well so my palms don't turn orange? (Which, by the way, this product doesn't do- that was another HUGE issue I had with the St. Tropez one). The soap and water washes the product off my hands, so I get the line! And how do I avoid the line on my ankles? I usually don't apply self-tanner to my feet because it ends up streaky. Any tips on how to apply it evenly to my feet? Thanks!

That's about it! Overall, I would highly recommend the Loreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Gelee. I have naturally very pale skin, and it's not orangy or unnatural looking on me! You can purchase it at drugstores, Target, and places like that for about $8-$10. I don't think I'll be purchasing high-end self tanners anymore, because the price of the ones I've tried hasn't been worth it for me! I'll stick to the drugstore. :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Trying this out tomorrow! Love your honesty and advice! The line part; maybe for your hands instead of washing the product off RIGHT away, try waiting just a few minutes, maybe brush your teeth, watch a youtube video, or something that doesn't require much movement with your hands, and than wash it off. Maybe this will give the product a little time to "soak in" more for a more gradual look! Love you SO MUCH!

Love it I'm going to try out this product as soon as I can find it. Your blog and youtube channel are absolutley amazing. I am also pale so i get lines at my ankles and wrists. Have a happy sparkly day. xoxoxoxo

When I use self tanner I wear gloves when I apply it to my body, and then I take off the left glove, carefully apply tan to the back of my left hand, making sure I don't get any on my palm. Then I let it dry and then put the left glove on a repeat the process on the right hand, this protects your palms from getting orange :) I am a huge fan of you Lindsey, I watch your videos everyday and I will be definately trying this product! Lots of love from eliseeey95 in Australia <3

hey lindsey!! i used to have a similar problem and in school it would be embarressing to roll up my sleeves because my arms would be tan, and my hands stark white!! haha! but anyways, i fixed this by using a self tanning glove that you can find in most drugstores i believe (i live in the uk and you can get in the ones here in the self tanning section) . so with the glove, you don't have to worry about getting orange palms, so you don't have to wash your hands, meaning the colour on your hands won't come off!! Make sure you apply a good amount of product to your hands, and don't get any in your fingernails- big mistake! anyways, hope i helped!! <3
